I was so busy replying to messages I forgot to say Happy Birthday to Jim. Also congrats on the &

The best part of today is that we received our documents today.

Frank we are going to miss you and Kathy on the cruise but how wonderful to spend time on Waikiki. Thanks for taking time to check out Ko Olina. Can't wait to hear what you think of it. The Mass you said for us last year is a very very special memory for me.

It is for me too. Now that we both have IPhones, we will be able to upload photos from Hawaii (and Ko Olina) directly to Facebook. Pretty cool.

evening everyone, just got back from DH's birthday dinner. We had a great time. Tomorrow we do dinner with his mom and sat-tues we go to the ocean with my parents. i love it! we get back from vaca for a week and then we get to see all of you down in FL!

We were able to use the wireless internet in our deck 7 stateroom last year with no problems.

So do you have to prearrange the amount of minutes you want to use? or do they just bill you for what you use?

When you log in for the first time you pick which package you want. Anything over that gets billed at the per minute rate.

Sounds great Mary

Thank You

I have a count down on my white board at work. On August 18, I listed the date and the number of days before we arrive in Orlando. The amount of days was 25. Today I changed the date to August 25 and when I counted the days there are 18 days until we arrive in Orlando. A little strange!

Today at work, we had a little meeting andthe first thing asked was aren't you taking vaction soon ...and I began singing Leaving on a jet plane Sept 12th...

So on pirate night, do you wear your pirate outfit to dinner or just dress in it for the party?

 

[RC4]

speaking of the pirate party- is there NO WAY to find out which night this will be? I have those Palo reservations for the same time as our regular dinner time- and I totally do NOT want to miss the pirate party... but I can't cancel my Palo reservations within 3 days without getting charged... but I don't know which day the party is? Whats a girl to do?

We got our cruise docs today!!!!!

Ready to go!!!

Hey, they have information in there on tips. I thought they were included, so do we or don't we tip the usual suspects (waiter, stateroom attendent, etc)?

Also, I'm hearing there are no formal nights but what is the dress code (for men or boys at heart) at Palo for dinner? Do I have to pack a jacket and tie or do I just need one or the other??

We leave next Friday and can't wait, is it too early to be on "vacation mode"??

 

[RC4]

You are so right. And somethime in March.

That is why I like DVC. If you want you can do a month or two because of the kitchens.

wow! Are you guys spending months at Disney? I'm jealous!! I want to come too!!

 

[djstweety]

I have another question:

what time zone is Castaway Cay. if its 10:00 pm CST..what time is it there?

 

[Perdie]

We leave in NINE days!!!! I can NOT concentrate at work anymore!!!!!!!!

 

[RC4]

I think it was St Thomas that we watched from the balconey people running for the ship. I thought why would you cut your time so close to have to hope they waited for you. To much stress for me. I want to be on the ship in plenty of time so I can relax and enjoy.

Oh my gosh! I couldn't imagine that!! I never even THOUGHT of that happening!!

How many grandkids do you have

We have 4...each from a different child...Nick is 5, Makayla is 4, Conner is 3 and Cameron is 2!! Population explosion! Nick was adopted from Russia when he was a baby.

 

[RC4]

i agree and each trip without the kids is different also. I do things that I always wanted but couldn;t since they where with me

Ahhh, to think... trips without kids! How nice would that be! Actually, we did that once- my daughter was a year and a half and we went to disney alone- we had a blast, and when we came home, she was potty trained! Now that is an AWESOME vacation!

 

[RC4]

Dustin starts on Sept. 8th. Then I yank him out on the 10th to go on some old vacation and cruise - poor thing!!!

My daughter also starts on Sept 8th- she's got a half day Tuesday, full day Wednesday, and then she's off! I'm sure the teacher will think we're slackers, but oh well!! We are Disney slackers!

By the way, Flo, got the hair cut today and boy is it short! DH is not going to be happy!! But it feels really good, and cool too.

Did you post a pic yet?
